It appears that we're set for a run of "Flu Game" blocked Air Jordan 12s, with another pair being rumored to release next summer.

Info leaker Soleheatonfeet reports that a "University Gold" Jordan 12 is expected to join the lineup. While photos haven't surfaced, ZSneakerheadz dropped a mock-up suggesting a pair similar to Gary Payton's 'Away' Player Exclusives from his long season with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2003-04.

The "Game Royal" version of the Jordan 12 is being released next month. Expect the "University Gold" colorway to land sometime during July 2020.

UPDATE (07/09): Initially scheduled to drop on July 18, the Air Jordan 12 Retro "University Gold" is now releasing on July 24 via SNKRS and at select retailers for $190.
